Team News: Chelsea vs. Fulham: Marc Cucurella returns, Marco Silva makes five changes

Chelsea and Fulham have announced their teams for the West London derby at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day.

The Blues head into this contest looking for the win that would move them to within one point of Premier League leaders Liverpool, albeit having played two matches more.

Enzo Maresca has opted to make just the one change to his starting lineup, recalling Marc Cucurella after a one-match ban to take the spot of Axel Disasi.

Rather than freshen up his attack, the Italian has opted to keep faith with the likes of Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho, with Noni Madueke missing out on the squad altogether.

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Bettinelli, Acheampong, Disasi, Casadei, George, Felix, Nkunku, Guiu

Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Anderson, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Pereira; Traore, Jimenez, Iwobi

Subs: Benda, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Cairney, King, Godo, Wilson, Vinicius, Muniz
